The Tripod Insider


Ready for some big news? Sit down and get a load of this: Richard Egan is a dad! Erin, his wife, gave birth on Monday to Kelly Egan. Richard and Erin left for the hospital at 7:00 a.m., and by 10:00 a.m., Kelly had arrived. Richard said Erin was one tough cookie throughout the labor. Let's hope Kelly takes after her mom! Both Erin and daughter are just fine. Richard's a little tired ...

This next bit of news may not be quite as life-altering, but is of significant importance to more than a few Tripod members. This Monday, checks were cut for Tripod members making over $25 in traffic in the Builder Bucks program. Let me tell you, there are a lot of checks! And we're not talking peanuts; some of these recipients will be able to get a new computer with their profits! We should know; they've made their way out here to Billsville, where we're packaging them with TLC and sending them to each and every lucky Builder Bucks member! Way to go!

Have a great weekend, and check back next week. Maybe we'll have a few new-dad stories to share!
